Trying to find 1/48 IsraCast Sa’ar conversion 48037 for the FM Super Mystere B2. /Tobias

This thread got really funny, I expressed my very personal desperate question at that moment. All I needed was to get it out my brain but it is really funny to read what other think is important. I totally agree about the vaguest subject line although. To stay on topic, Minicraft will release a B-52D that will be a really good base for a bit of scratchbuilding. /Tobias

Last days I have tried to find more info about NB-52 conversions in 1/144. All I wonder now is when will someone do a new proper NB-52 conversion? It´s near impossible to find the Cutting Edge conversion. So here is plea to all manufactures; Please make a new NB-52 conversion in 1/144. Regards Tobias

Here is a Link from Britmodeller with a link to IPMS Stockolm about the different versions. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234975655-jas-39-ac-gripen/ Regards Tobias

Some filler was needed on the underside of wing/fuselage and the booms. The canopy was glued in Place as well, if you take it carefully and dryfit it will go without any problem. I was in a bit of hurry and needed filler in some places. The top canopy does not fit at all if it will be closed, it needs to be reshaped but it only affects the framing and not the glass. Now it is time for a tricky thing, the pitot tube. The kit tube is useless so I made it myself using two different tubes and glued them together. Next thing is on which side to put it on, there are no stright answers it could

About 3 weeks ago Pilot Replicas released their injected mold Saab J21. A inbox review can be found here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F234988181-saab-j-21-a-3-148. I bought it directly and thought this is a really nice model that I could build quite fast. The aim was to have it finished to AIM (Art In Miniatures) in Gothenburg 5-6/9, http://artgot.se/. I started to assamble the main wing. To avoid a step in the joint I glued a plastic strip so that the wing skin would meet eachother. Here I realized that you need to dry fit very carefully, this goes for the whole mod

Hi all, As the title says I'm looking for the 1/144 MYK design decal sheet for the 2009 Demo F-16 from the Netherlands. Regards Tobias Located in Sweden

The paint used for the model is grey Xtracolor toghether with yellow and light blue Humbrol paint. In the resin conversion you get a master to do your vac canopy, I made one to use as mask over the whole cockpit. Once dried the decals were applied. The JBr decals are very thin but is no problem to use, they fitted the model really good. The most difficult on the model was to install the alfa and beta vanes on the nose boom. Also there are a alfa vane on the side of the fuselage, it´s almost impossible to see it on model with the eyes. After this I sued a semimatt clear coat and in

I have Always had a weak Point for this scheme on the 2-seat Mig-21. In order to build one in 1/144 I used: Eduard Mig-21 RetroKit Mig-21 UM resin conversion Brengun photo etch JBr decals First of all I got a bad copy of the RetroKit resin fuselage and after some conversation and other postage mishaps I got a really nice new fuselage. A really great customer service from RetroKit, you are the ones!! I didn´t like the aft fuselage of the resin copy so I cut that off and used the rear end of the Eduard plastic. The same thing was applied to the nose cone. The fit of the

I have built the model and for the airbrakes fitted nice in close position. You need to dryfit and trim the brakes a little, then it lookes really good. Tobias

Thanks, I will do some search. Regards Tobias

I'm really impressed by your work. I need a likewise motor for a Spitfire project as you have for the B-17. Do you have a link to the where you bought yours? Regards Tobias

Hoops: You making me uncertain, the first three examples you use are modified a/c at the end of the Viggen era. It is possible that the sequence was changed during these upgrades, I need to investigate further, I will post the answers then I have them. BUT the last parked picture you show all FOD covers are on, this also include closing the RAT. It was very unusual to install all covers, I think I only did it once for practice during my time. LanceB: Yes, that is the one. Please noter that there are different layouts here as well between AJ and JA. /Tobias

The RAT was deployed when the landning gear was lowered. It was always deployed until the gear went up the next flight during normal operation. Inside there is the oxygene and nitrogene refill that needed attention between flights. Also during engine starup the fire extinguisher is located behind the RAT. Note that the layout behind the RAT is different between the AJ and JA. If the aircraft is parked the hatch on the right side, under the canard, is open. The main electrical switch is located there, Also much of the fuses are there. As for the flaperons they were always hanging a bit while

Thanks all for the input. I will go with a E-3/707 nose when I found a cheap one. I know there are more mistakes than just the nose, but that is the most obvious in my opinion. Anyway it is a model and models are here to be built, as long as we have fun. Regards Tobias
